Cool, weird sci-fi concept. Really appreciate the blue-orange morality, that's always fun.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! Really nice of you to perceive the blue-orange mentality.

I think that idea for a darkness that comes from a solar eclipse is freaking BRILLIANT. But I also have to say this: these four encounters and minor mischiefs don't seem able to fill hours of playtime... But I think they are a lovely start and I would love to see what you can do with this project if you try to expand it further! :)

Thank you for your feedback! The concept can be expanded but the amount of time in the jam didn't allowed me to explore further. May revisit the scenario later!

Incredibly cool concept and I was really eager to see what kind of extradimensional alien hijinks we would see, but aside from a few of the minor mischief encounters a lot of it seemed to just be standard randomish encounters that could happen anywhere (I notice that 'Carl being tossed in the well' was listed twice - was that on purpose?).

Cover and layout are nice and I like the icons at the beginning of each encounter.

Developer

Thank you for you feedback! And I guess Carl was too unlucky, he was not meant to be tossed that much.

Love the use of fill art for each section. Great effort!

I think the whole thing does need fleshing out - it reads more like your session notes than something someone else can pick up and play. 

Don't get me wrong - there's lots of good ideas in here like a trolley problem, quicksand floors, and weirdo space aliens. I think with a few more passes this would be cookin!

Thank you for you feedback! Will look to improve it!
